CB build wiki page

[Wkerry]

The following WIKI page uses wxWidgets 3..5, but the nightly has used 3.2.x for a while now:
https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Windows

Is this page still correct for building CodeBlocks on Windows using the winlibs compiler?

[Miguel Gimenez]

It is correct, just change 31 to 32 where needed and download the latest wxWidgets sources.

EDIT: I have edited the page to clarify this and point to the current wxWidgets release.

Thank you

[Wkerry]

Thanks.  I have started going through it.

I built wxwidgets.

When I loaded the CodeBlocks_wx32_64.cbp file the nightly CodeBlocks created a blank wx32_64 global variable, but the instructions indicate it should have created $(#wx32) (changed 31 to 32 as per docs). Should CodeBlocks have created $(wx32) or $(wx32_64)?

[Wkerry]

I setup $(wx32_64), but I cannot build CodeBlocks as I get the error below. I am using the latest MSYS2 MingW64 compiler, GCC 13.2.0.

The global variable dialog has changed allot and the existing one in the page is probably from a very old version of CodeBlocks as it has wxwidgets 2.8.12 in the base.

Any ideas on this error? From google it seems like somehow CodeBlocks or my setup is using a 32 bit compiler some how, but I have no idea how.

I did a quick hack of my MSYS2 setup and renamed C:\msys64\mingw32 to C:\msys64\mingw32.old and got a very strange (crazy) reference as follows when I did a rebuild workspace as I do not have  the mingw32 directory anymore and the CodeBlcoks setup is to use mingw64.

Code

Tried to run compiler executable 'C:\msys64\mingw32/bin/gcc.exe', but failed!

The Compiler settings have the following:
install directory set to C:\msys64\mingw64[/li][/list]
C++ compiler is set to g++.exe

Is the project using the compiler you think you are using?

I use msys2's 64bit gcc(mingw64) everyday, and I don't have such issue. I normally use a 64bit C::B to build the whole workspace.

As stahta01 said, are you using some 32 bit compiler or 32 bit C::B?

[Wkerry]

@stahta01 - You hints allowed me to figure out that the page does not include info on the project (CodeBlocks_wx32_64.cbp) does not work if you have a different compiler setup. I changes the project compiler and it worked. The page does not say I need to do this.

@ollydbg I am using 64bit and following the updated instructions on the wiki page and the 13442 CodeBlocks version and the latest MSYS2 Mingw64.

I got CodeBlocks  to build, but the instructions need to be corrected.

The nightly and the one I built are different and I have no idea why. Any ideas?

Sorry, I don't understand what is the difference. Can you explain it? Also, it looks like you already build your own C::B from "src/CodeBlocks_wx32_64.workspace", what's remaining issue?

[Wkerry]

The CodeBlocks_wx32_64.cbp did not build all of the plugins. Should I be using the CodeBlocks_wx32_64.workspace? The build page does not reference the CodeBlocks_wx32_64.workspace file.

[ollydbg]

The CodeBlocks_wx32_64.cbp did not build all of the plugins. Should I be using the CodeBlocks_wx32_64.workspace?

Yes. CodeBlocks_wx32_64.cbp only builds the core plugins.

The build page does not reference the CodeBlocks_wx32_64.workspace file.

This should be added to the wiki page.


EDIT:

Oh, this was mentioned in the wiki page, see here: 4.7 Compile contributed (or your own) plugins
